Ataraxia by Jacklyn Parker

CHYLER TATE
I work for Charlotte.
She takes dirty jobs from anonymous clients and feeds them down to us.
I handle the bulk of the dirty work. Spilling blood is nothing to me, it’s easy.
We’ve been hired to hunt down and eliminate a big player in the Pharmaceutical Industry.
The only problem is finding him before we get caught.

HIM
A single night and he had me in his back pocket.
No one touches what’s mine. He is mine.
He doesn’t know who I truly am, and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to tell him.
But what I do know…
He is going to be the one to ruin me.
He is going to be the one who ruins everything.

ATLAS JENSEN
I’m being transferred to a new CIA Unit in Minneapolis.
We’ve been tasked with shutting down whoever has been hunting Roman Atwater by picking off his employees for information.
Whoever is doing this is brutal, vicious, and unforgiving.
None of their victims survive.
They need to be stopped.
Their body count is only climbing.

HER
From the moment I saw her, I knew she was mine.
There’s a fire to her, and I was drawn in like a moth to a flame.
One night was all it took to bring me to my knees.
She has me wrapped around her finger.
I’d do anything for her.
Anything.

ATARAXIA
A drug that promises the relief of addiction to those who take it.
A single-dose miracle that could give lives back to those who’ve lost them.
What length would you go to to finally be free of the vice that controls you?
How much faith do you have in the industry?
